Zohran Mamdani<\/a>, known for his progressive rhetoric during the campaign, assured gay voters he’d be their “champion in City Hall” and not to worry about all those rumors about Muslims throwing gay people off of very high rooftops.<\/p>\n“Hello, my brothers, glad you could make it,” said Mamdani as he led a couple men toward the roof’s edge. “Wow, look at the beautiful view.

As of press time, over 500 RSVPs have been confirmed, with many attendees expressing excitement about the “unforgettable night.” Meanwhile, Mamdani has been spotted practicing his “throwing form” in a private gym.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
